Common Heart Conditions We Treat

• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Narrowed arteries due to plaque buildup that reduce blood flow to the heart.
• Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats such as atrial fibrillation or tachycardia.
• Heart Valve Disorders: Issues with one or more valves, including stenosis or regurgitation.
• Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): A condition where the heart doesn’t pump blood as efficiently as it should.
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Restricted blood flow in the arteries outside the heart, often affecting the legs.
• Congenital Heart Defects: Structural problems in the heart present since birth.

Heart-Related Procedures Offered

1. Angioplasty and Stenting

• What It Is: A minimally invasive procedure to open clogged arteries and improve blood flow.
• How It Works: A small balloon is inserted and inflated, often followed by stent placement to keep the artery open.
• Benefits: Quick recovery, reduces chest pain, and prevents heart attacks.

2. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

• What It Is: A surgical procedure that redirects blood around blocked arteries to improve blood flow.
• How It Works: Healthy blood vessels from other parts of the body are grafted to bypass the blockages.
• Benefits: Improves quality of life and longevity for patients with severe blockages.

3. Pacemaker and Defibrillator Implantation

• What It Is: Devices implanted to regulate or restore normal heart rhythms.
• How It Works: Pacemakers address slow heartbeats, while defibrillators correct life-threatening arrhythmias.
• Benefits: Prevents sudden cardiac arrest and improves overall heart rhythm.

4. Heart Valve Repair or Replacement

• What It Is: A procedure to repair or replace damaged heart valves.
• How It Works: Minimally invasive techniques or open-heart surgery are used, depending on the condition.
• Benefits: Restores efficient blood flow and reduces symptoms like fatigue and breathlessness.

5. Cardiac Catheterization

• What It Is: A diagnostic and treatment procedure to assess heart function and blood flow.
• How It Works: A catheter is inserted into a blood vessel to access the heart and perform necessary interventions.
• Benefits: Accurate diagnosis and immediate treatment for certain heart conditions.

6. Electrophysiology Studies (EPS)

• What It Is: A detailed examination of the heart’s electrical system to diagnose arrhythmias.
• How It Works: Catheters and electrodes are used to map the heart’s electrical activity.
• Benefits: Identifies arrhythmias and helps determine effective treatments.

7. Advanced Heart Imaging

• What It Is: Non-invasive imaging techniques like echocardiograms, CT scans, and MRIs.
• How It Works: Provides detailed visuals of the heart’s structure and function.
• Benefits: Early and accurate diagnosis of heart conditions.

Comprehensive Aftercare Services

• Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs: A structured approach to improve heart health post-treatment.
• Lifestyle Counseling: Guidance on diet, exercise, and stress management to prevent recurrence.
• Ongoing Monitoring: Regular check-ups and remote monitoring for long-term care.
